Glynis graduated from Leicester University in 1984 with a BA (Hons) in English and Philosophy and then entered local government most latterly working in the field of economic development.

Glynis decided that she wished to become a lawyer and took the decision to return to University in 1999 where she undertook a conversion degree course at De Montfort University in Leicester followed by the Legal Practices Course. She completed the LPC with multiple Distinctions and was awarded the special status of “Student of the Year” by the Law Society for having achieved the highest marks for her academic year at De Montfort University. 

Glynis completed her practical training as a Solicitor with a long standing Leicester based firm and specialised in family law from the outset. At the time she joined the firm, it handled a small number of private family law cases. Within 2 years, Glynis had grown the department to a large caseload specialising in divorce and finance settlements, cohabitation breakups and contested contact and residence cases involving children.

Increasingly, Glynis handled Pre-nuptial Agreements and Living Together Agreements. Within 2 years of qualifying as a Solicitor in 2003, Glynis was invited to become a Partner in the firm running the family law department. Around 90% of Glynis’ work comes from word of mouth recommendations. Her reputation is founded on a total commitment to her clients and a high standard of service delivery. Her philosophy is to ease the anxiety and turmoil of divorce and relationship breakups by being approachable and friendly whilst offering the best legal advice to her clients.

Glynis believes that dispute should be resolved by negotiation rather than court proceedings where possible and is aware that protracted proceedings represent a cost to her clients emotionally and financially. She does all that she can to settle matters swiftly and without acrimony for her clients.

In line with this philosophy, Glynis determined to add to her skills and repertoire and qualified as a family mediator with Resolution in May 2010.  Glynis had anticipated that family mediation would be heralded as the best way forward for families in crises due to marital or cohabitation break ups and so it has transpired to be with a new government backed protocol being introduced as of 6 April 2011 which stipulates that mediation must be considered before court proceedings can be commenced in family matters. Glynis is now able to take instructions from couples wishing to resolve their problems through family mediation as well as individual clients who need an excellent divorce lawyer to look after them.

At the end of March 2011, Glynis made the decision to set up her own Leicester based niche family law and mediation practice. As of the 4 April 2011, Glynis is proud to announce that she is the sole proprietor of her own practice located at First Floor, 5 Bowling Green Street, Leicester.  Glynis’ practice is already thriving since Glynis has carried with her an existing caseload of loyal clients from her previous firm and all of the expertise and skills that she has developed in family law matters over the past 9 years.
